Jennifer Roig-Francoli is an international prize-winner and certified Alexander Technique (AT) teacher, and combines her professional experience with a life-long love of meditation and perennial wisdom. This unique combination gives her uncommon expertise in pinpointing the source of artists’ mind-body issues.

Her students consistently report that Jennifer’s simple, profound direction helps them achieve unexpected “ah-ha” moments and sometimes “miraculous” transformations. Pain and tensions melt away, seemingly unrelated problems are recognized as interconnected and dissolve, fears and anxieties transform into calm confidence, and technical skills improve with surprising ease.

An international prize-winner, she has been the Concertmaster of multiple ensembles and has been featured in TIME Magazine.
